Here's one of my favorite ballads which was written by the inimitable Townes Van Zandt. Emmylou Harris recorded it, as did Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard in a duet (don't ask me why). I first heard it in a coffeehouse at RPI (remember coffeehouses, where people went to hear good music, not get drunk) by Robin and Linda Williams, of later Prairie Home Companion fame. I play this with a D, C#, B bass run transition from the D chord to whatever follows. I've indicated this with the following chord notation. D x00232 D/C# x40232 D4/B(?) x20032 I also lead into the verse with e+-----------2-- b+--2--3--5----- g+-------------- then picking out of the D chord, etc. d+-----------0-- a+--0--2--4----- e+-------------- Livin' on the road, my friend..... which is nice for many songs played in D.
